The Hard Way: I am a Bastard

9. March 2010

When I was finishing up elementary school, my sister fell ill and eventually succumbed to a blood disease. It was around this time that I came to know that she was only my half sister (we shared the same mother) and that her father was not my father. Up until this point, this was a [...]

Choosing the right partner in poly relationships

26. February 2010

23 Comments

Making good choices in who we partner with is so important. Poly or mono, we’ve all done it: fallen for the wrong person. We have all, at one time or another, fallen in love with a person that we knew, going in, was not going to fit into our lives, or was [...]

The Ex File

Exes are something we all have to deal with in relationships. Whether it be your ex, or your partner’s ex, they are all there looming in the past. My Daddy [my boyfriend who I affectionately call Daddy] has the ex that looms in our relationship. My emotions and thoughts that relate to her [...]

Airen lives with S in the states while A, her other partner, lives in Canada. Though working on bringing the triad closer, for now, this is their story and situation… We thought it wouldn’t be easy for me to get pregnant. I had always had trouble with my hormones being ‘all over the place’ so we [...]

Can a Relationship Last Without Sex?

23. February 2010

Can a relationship last without sex? A question that lurks around all relationships. It is obvious that love can be established without sex, but can it be maintained without it? There is difference between romantic relationships and sexual relationships. Sexual relationships happen all the time, and they happen without the presence of love on numerous [...]

The Hard Way: The Sensitive Guy

23. February 2010

4 Comments

In Hollywood productions, men are stereotypically looking for a woman with “the whole package,” you know, both beauty and brains. Men comiserate with their buddies about how easy it is to find an attractive (and usually sexually adventurous) woman or someone who has just the right amount of sensitivity to be emotionally healthy and, of [...]

Part 2 : The Best Laid Plans The next morning, my husband went to work early. I was up, lounging around in a robe and playing on the computer. At one point, I felt something like a “pop.” It didn’t hurt, and I didn’t pay much attention to it. Until I stood up. [...]

Sex after Children

19. February 2010

4 Comments

Sex is never, ever the way it’s portrayed in movies. I don’t care how much money you have or how in love you are. You don’t always start out kissing passionately. You don’t move seamlessly into new positions. Fireworks don’t shoot off in the distance and unless you have ‘your song’ on repeat it’s not [...]

Orgasm Control

18. February 2010

Orgasm control. Giving someone the right to tell you when, where, how and how many orgasms you can have. Doesn’t it sound horrid? It can be. Other times, it’s pretty friggin awesome. Like this morning. But I’ll get to that later. I don’t think M was originally going to take complete [...]

Part 1 : I’m Going To Do It Naturally! When I got pregnant for the first time, my husband and I were thrilled and scared. We thought we could even pinpoint the night it happened. We had decided a few weeks before that it was time to start a family, and I had gone [...]

Somes

I have a very common fantasy, threesomes, foursomes, fivesomes, moresomes. When I first started talking to my Daddy [my boyfriend who I affectionately call Daddy] it was something we had discussed. He had been in his fair share of ‘somes. I was 18 and never experienced any sort of ‘some outside of [...]

Not a Monster

Recently there was a great article by Sarahbear on Eden Café that struck a certain chord with me. She has a very different perspective of a situation that is close to me and I felt compelled to share my own perspective on these situations. I think the most common perspective when it comes to cheating [...]

The Hard Way: Did you Know I Eloped?

16. February 2010

4 Comments

It never really occurred to me that I had eloped when I married my husband. I mean, we hadn’t run away to Vegas. Then again, we hadn’t had a big celebration to which we’d invited all our friends and family either. One day, when someone described our low key, jeans-and-tee courthouse wedding as an elopement, [...]

12. February 2010

Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. And being the hopeless romantic that I am, it’s not unusual for me to go to great lengths to plan out a romantic evening. But after 25 years of marriage there have been a few that didn’t turn out exactly as planned. About 20 years ago we [...]
